I agree with you but you also must take into consideration that by networking and volunteering and getting into our fields, job offers will come up and questions will arise as to why we are rejecting them if we're so dedicated to the field, therefore closing the same doors we worked so hard to open. It's just a whole good/bad, love/hate situation we must live with day by day and we all must do our best to deal with it and move on. There's a negative and positive side to everything and it all depends which way you look at things. You are absolutely right though and that's good advice, it's the same I would give.
